Penn-Plax Reptology Turtle Topper – Basking Platform for 10g to 55g Aquariums – Black

Introducing the Turtle Topper by PENN-PLAX, brought to you by Reptology. This Jurassic-themed basking platform is designed to mount securely above your tank, offering your pet turtle a perfect spot to dry off, warm up, or simply relax. By incorporating this additional space, you contribute to a healthier and more spacious aquatic habitat for your turtle.

The Turtle Topper is suitable for standard tanks with a capacity of up to 55 gallons and a width of 13 inches, accommodating various sizes including 10g, 20L, 20H, 29g, and 55g. After just a few minutes of installation, you’ll likely see your turtles flocking to their new perch. This platform is especially ideal for most varieties of aquatic turtles, who will enjoy basking comfortably out of the water.

For secure attachment, the Turtle Topper employs two adjustable 1.5-inch suction cup mounts that adhere firmly to the walls of the tank. To ensure a reliable grip, it’s crucial to clean both the suction cups and the contact areas on the tank beforehand; the cleaner they are, the stronger the bond will be.

Designed with convenience in mind, the textured docking ramp makes it easy for your turtle to ascend to the platform's upper tier, where they can bask, eat, and have a great time above water. The ramp measures 5.75 inches in width at its narrowest point and extends 8 inches in length, providing ample space for an effortless climb.

One of the standout features of the Turtle Topper is its versatile hanging platform, which measures 11.25 inches by 4 inches. This platform rests just below the waterline, allowing your turtle the option to relax while partially submerged. In case your setup feels a bit cramped, the hanging platform can easily be removed to accommodate your specific space needs.

The basking platform is thoughtfully designed with a clear top that features ridges, perfect for mounting two clamp-style heat lamps (which are not included). Additionally, the central metal grill door allows heat to circulate effectively while providing convenient access to your pet. This grill door is both easy to open and secure, measuring 7.25 inches by 8 inches.

Overall, the dimensions of the Turtle Topper are as follows: 17 inches in length, 14 inches in width, and 10 inches in height. The inner basking platform measures 16 inches by 12.5 inches, while the ramp and hanging platform have dimensions of 5.75 inches by 8 inches and 11.25 inches by 4 inches, respectively. This structure fits perfectly with standard-sized tanks of up to 55 gallons and 13 inches wide.

The Reptology Turtle Topper is not only innovative and unique but also promotes a healthy environment for your pet. By providing a safe and spacious bathing area, you enhance the overall well-being of your aquatic turtle, making it an essential addition to their habitat.
